Each sheet must be saved as an ASCII file.
For ECAD server side publishing, the following requirements must be met:
1. Save all primary content, including all design data and related data required to open the design on a remote worker machine, as a single ZIP file.
2. Add the file name of the primary design item being published to the ECAD_DESIGN_ITEM attribute.
3. For ECAD neutral file format server-side publishing, add the neutral file name (with extensions) being published to the ECAD_NEUTRAL_FORMAT_FILE attribute.
For ECAD data that is eligible for server-side publishing, this enables the following:
Creating a New Representation
Republishing jobs

File synchronization is not supported by ECAD publishing.
The alternate file formats are not supported by ECAD publishing.
Server-side publishing requires a worker to be configured. For more information, see “Installing and Configuring the Adapters” in the Creo View ECAD Adapters Installation and Configuration Guide in the Creo View Help Center or as a PDF on the Reference Documents site.
